A note about overnighting here
Wal-Mart has posted signs in their parking lot here prohibiting overnight parking after 24 hours. Clever - this lot is not designed to cope with many big rigs and this signage seems to discourage them quite well - I'm the only one here for the night, other than a Wal-Mart delivery truck.
This is the first restricted parking I have come across so far regarding overnight parking in a Wal-Mart parking lot. I've read that there are many such restricted lots but I guess I've been lucky so far and have not come across one until now. I put on more miles today than I hoped to and I'm sure glad I could stay the night.

Monopoly Money
During the 1990s I knew all the dot-coms would go to hell, because when I thought about them the only images I saw were rented office space and computers that would be obsolete in two years. There wasn't anything real I could picture; the companies had no hard assets. My stockbroker asked me how I knew the two stock market crashes would happen, and I told him, "When the Monopoly play money starts jerking around the real money you're in trouble."
